A THRIVING TowN.--A correspon-
dent of the Independent throws a
brilliant light upon the future Of
Wells, Nevada town, owing to the
labors Of the Legislature in providing
lucrative employment for the people.
He says: Wells is now first class
town, thanks to the rabbit bounty
bill. The stores have engaged ex-
ira clerks to count scalps, and every
rancher, Indian and nothing to do
man i'll the neighborhood is in the
seal p business. The largest batch so
far is seven thousand two hundred
and seventy-one, and several parties
have secured from one to three thou
sand scalps. 1t is estimated there.
will be between two and three mill
ION scalps from this portion of the
county alone Saloon keepers, store
keepers, and in fact all trades and oc-
Equations are securing scalps for their
Ipay. 1t takes five scalps to get
shaved, two for a straight drink and
three to get your shirt properly wash
ed and ironed. All the Clover and
Star ranchers bring a shotgun and
make their stable and whisky ex-
penses en- route. Everybody is hap

munity. The suggestion has been received in the
same spirit by those who know the profound value
to a neighbOrhood of the constant and attractive
opportunity even of brief meditation upon the
things which are unseen but eternal. A noble
monument of art, a temple rich in every form OF
lofty beauty, whose vastness, and silence, and re-
pose, whose stately function and inspiring and
tender association, touch deeply the imagination
and themselves furnish the scene and the incite-
ment TO spiritual meditation, a temple always
open, free to every conner, consecrated to pure
and holy influences, is perpetual public bene-
diction."
That New York needs such public bene-
diction no one will doubt. To the present
generation it would undoubtedly be a source
of pride and inspiration; in the future, its
historic associations might give it the fame
OF Westminster Abbey. Perhaps, in time,
the great men of America might be buried
there, and their services to their country and
humanity recorded under its lofty arches.
But these things must happen in some future
time. The burial of Gen. Grant in the great
city has demonstrated the fact that the pres
emit generation have little sympathy with New
York. Its population is largely alien. with
foreign ideas. But, perhaps. after few
years, under the influences of its schools
and of the ideas of which the great cathe-
dral would be monument, New York may
gain the prestige which should belong to a
commercial metropolis. Then, the whole
country would be proud of her great cathe-
dral

The Effect of a Decision.

The construction placed upon the long and
short haul clause of the Interstate COM
merce law by the Commission distinctly rec
ognizes that the competition of water carriers
creates an unsimilarity of conditions under
which it may be lawful for the road to charge
less per mile for a long haul than for short
haul. This construction probably covers
very large per cent of the cases where there
exists any good reason for charging less for
the one than for the other. The de-
cision is in accord with common sense, and
probably does not conflict with the intent of
Congress, for 1t is hardly possible that that
body meant to deprive cities and towns stu
ated on navigable waters of everything but
water transportation, for that would be the re-
suit OF ruling out competition as an element
that may create dissimilarity of condition.
Under this decisionIa railroad stretching from
Boston to Bangor would be justified in charg-
ing less per mile for the through haul than
for shorter haul to some inland point,
because between Boston and Bangor there
Is communication by water, and hence
the railroad is brought into COMPETE
tion with water carriers not subject to
the law. The recognition of the right of
the railroad to reduce its charges on account
Of this competition clearly implies the right
to reduce them sufficiently to meet this COM
petition, not sufficiently to crush it out, but
enough to get such Of the traffic as would
naturally seek the railroad; such traffic as
on account of the perishable nature of the
goods or for any other reason requires rapid
transportation. This decision averts the
serious danger that towns situated on
the sea coast and rivers would be com
PEELED to depend entirely on water
transportation, which on account of its
slowness would completely paralyze certain
kinds Of Interstate commerce, and tends to
cOnine the operations of the law largely to
the prevention Of the granting of special
rates to particular individuals or corpora
tions,

The Great Cathedral.

The scheme to build a magnificent Episco-
pla cathedral in New York that will rival in
magnifcence the famous cathedrals in the
Old World, is taking form. Bishop Potter
has called for subscriptions from Protestants
for structure that shall cost six million
dollars. 1t will be the contributions of
Episcopalans largely that will be depended
on. To that denomination belong the Van
derbilts, the Astors, the Stuyvesants, the
Lorillards, the Goelets, and others on the
list of great millionaires. Catherine Wolff
intended to give to the cathedral half mil
lion dollars; but as the prospect that it
would be built was faint, afterwards be-
queathed $4,000 to her favorite Grace
church instead. But, though the cathedral
would be built under the auspices of the
Episcopal church, it would be Invested, SO
lar as is practicable, of all sectarian infu-
ences. Harper's Weekly, which favorably
regards the proposal of Bishop Potter says
of it:
mot as what the Puritans would have called
the Westinghouse of sect but as 4 temnle NJ
the Christian faith, OF the divine eooaness and
power, and OF the charity which in Thought and
deed s the finest fruit OF pure religion and unde
filed, the cathedral proposed by the Bishop is in
strict accord with his own large and catholic spir

Remarkable Preservation of a Name.
Harrington Chronicle.l


Half century ago there was brickyard
on the north side of the road at the foot of
the Ames hill, so-called, near what is now
the Messrs. Riggs tannery. One day Capt
F. v Stewart then thirty years of age, was in
that yard, and while walking around among
the unburned brick which were scattered
about he picked up sharp stick and care
lessly wrote the following upon one of them:
ST. V. Stewart 1896" This brick, with 9TH
ers, went into the kiln, was burned and af-
terward was laid into the walls of the Old
South church erected that Year.. Nothing
more was thought of the matter till short
time ago, when as .workmen were cleaning
the brick from the walls of the church
burned in the great fire, the identical brick
was brought to light--as perfect in shape as
when laid, and with the inscription upon it
as plain as print. This valuable relic was
carefully preserved by Mrs. J. P. Thwing till
Mr.. Stewards return from Boston, when she
presented it to him. Mr.. Stewart is now so
years of age, and he says it will take a big
sum of money to get that brick away from
him 3

An Usurper Who Bossed the Family.


A man named Fred Richards was brought
here Wednesday, by Officer Libby of Rock
port, and lodged in the court house prison.
Richards was arrested ON complaint of Mr..
Samuel Gregory, an old man, who formerly
lived in this city. Gregory has been living in
Hope of late, and some time ago Richards
came to his house and was given permission
to stay awhile. He quickly assumed the DO
sition of boss in the family, and abused
Gregory so badly that he went to Rockport
and made a complaint. Richards was arrest
ed and arraigned before Justice Talbot. who
thought he came about as near being tramp
as anything that would bring him under the
operation of the law. and classified him ac-
cordingly, giving him a sentence of thirty
days Imprisonment.

1t is superfiuous to commend an anti saloon
movement to the Republicans of Maine. They
have been engaged in such a movement for
more than quarter Of century, and by
means of laws enacted and enforced by them
the drinking saloon has been almost entirely
hanished from this State. Republicans in
other States who have taken up the move
ment are simply following the example of
Maine. The Pine Tree State has been true
to its motto in this matter and has led all
the States. These remarks are suggested by
the great meeting Of Anti-Saloon Republic
cans which has been held recently in New
York city with view of committing the Ma
tional Republican party to policy which
shall aim at the reduction of the evils of the
saloon to the minimum, and when practical
bic to its utter extinction. The meeting wac
remarkable for the high character of the
gentlemen who took part in it, and for the
widespread appreciation its object received
as indicated by the letters addressed to it
which came from prominent leaders of the
Republican party all over the country. 1t
was the substantially unanimous opinion of
the speakers and the letter writers that the
time had come for the Republican party to
array itself in open, active. unrelenting hos
tility to the saloon-an opinion which there
can be no doubt will receive the hearty con-
currence of the Republicans of Maine. The
movement is not in the interest of any par
ticular method for the suppression of the
dram shop-whether prohibition, high IL
cense or some other. 1t recognizes the fact
that the choice of weapons must necessarily
be left to the States, and trusts to the Re-
publicens of different States to choose such
as will be likely to prove most effective in
their domains
